Sam Smith- I actually find it unpleasant to listen to him. Never been a fan of Chris Martin's whiny vocals either. Cilla Black also sounds awful.

Watch out Ariana, Maisie is coming. Maisie Peters

Though Tightrope is probably the "Michelle Williams" of the Greatest Showman Soundtrack.

Awful. Likely only won as it was the only penis on offer.

Cher, followed closely by Anthony Hopkins.

I think the charts could become more interesting again when the demographic of people who uses streaming services widens.

New Rules going to ACR too soon :snif:

Looking forward to this. I only hope somebody introduces her to capital letters in the meantime.

I like to think Kate is still writing and recording in between tea with the Vicar and coffee mornings with Stephen Fry.

I think the 2 interludes on the Greatest Showman have been certified gold.

Cher...isn't top 65

Direct Hits was certified platinum back in 2015 so presumably a typo?

If I like it probably around 30-40 times. I'm not sure I've listened to any song 100 times!

I don't think I know anybody in real life who knows or cares about what is the charts. They could probably tell me who is on the Radio 2 Playlist though.

I hope Cher is top 65. :cheer:

Cher is top 65!

That caller obviously a Spotify employee.

Only 2 songs I don't dislike so far I had forgotten what a shower of sh*te the charts were for the first 3 quarters of the year.

As long as Cher remains top 65, I don't mind who gets the number 1.

Kanye West and Taylor Swift Azealia Banks and Lana Del Rey Nicki Minaj and Cardi B James Arthur and Lucy Spraggan Lily Allen and Morrissey Lady Gaga and Madonna Calvin Harris and Rita Ora

Looks like the OCC's cunning plan to keep Christmas songs out of the top 40 may have failed epically.

I usually like Sia, but when I heard her vocals on Santa's Coming for Us, I actually burst out laughing. No Sia, just...no.

Sadly I think Alessia Cara must be up there for biggest flop of the year.
